Thank you letter from the Queen

KJ

Guess how delighted I was to receive a thank you letter in the post today from Her Majesty the Queen (actually, her Lady in Waiting) relating to my new book, 'Chasing Dreams: A collection of poems'.
I really hope she enjoys reading it.

Thats a letter to treasure.

Congratulations KJ you'll have to frame it.

Liz

KJ

I'm definitely going to frame it.

St Force

Wow, Karen! Well done. :)

You sent the Queen a copy of your book?

KJ

There is a poem in Chasing Dreams dedicated to a member of the Royal Family.

Carol

Ah...
Congratulations. :)

forget-me-not

Oh my God! Yes, frame it an put it in pride of place! Congratulations!

febes

Oh my god did you faint???

Jay Mandal

Congratulations! I'm not sure the occasional reference to 'queen' would warrant sending any of my books to Her Majesty. :)

KJ

:)

Not quite the same context, methinks.

Lou Treleaven

Arise, KJ! Hopefully she'll keep you in mind for a future Poet Laureate...

KJ

Haha, I don't think that's likely to happen.
I'd love to meet her though...

Verica

Congratulations, Karen!

Stan2

Perhaps we should dedicate our books to a member of the Royal Family and then send Her Majesty a copy!

KJ

;)

My book doesn't have a dedication as such, though readers will realise who a few of the poems were specifically written for or about.
One example is 'A Brother Lost', which relates to my brother who died, aged 21.

Wow KJ, that's great! :-D

KJ - great news about the Queen - well done you. I hope she does read it.

Congratulations!!

I'm sure she will read it, she has plenty of time, she hasn't got a proper job, just a better paid version of the dole :)
